Hunting Springbok Namibia
Judging this ram was not to difficult, even without binoculars.
It has got everything you want, horns laying back above the bases ( age ), tips curling backwards ( genetics ), wide open lyre form, horns atleast the length of the head and naturally the basis will have tight polished rings at this stage.
I must ad that I have taken 17 inch + Springbuck where the horns goes more or less straight up from the basis and the tips do not curl backwards but old. ( genetics )
In this case it would be advisable to check on the basis with binoculars, because it might still be an imature ram with great potential.
